The Festival

Where Original Comic Art and Storytelling Convene

ICON is the festival where original comic art and storytelling convene, bringing art collectors and storytellers together.

The Venue

The Millennium Biltmore, a Living Legend Since 1923

Since opening in 1923, the Millennium Biltmore has reigned as one of Los Angeles's grand landmarks: Beaux-Arts architecture with Renaissance Revival detail, hand-painted frescoes by Italian master Giovanni Smeraldi, crystal chandeliers, and carved marble columns.

It was inside these gilded halls that the Academy Awards were first conceived. The hotel has hosted Charlie Chaplin, Clark Gable, nine U.S. presidents, and the Beatles at the height of their fame, a room with the gravity to match the icons who gather within it.
